Did Ancient Greeks Truly Believe Their Own Mythical Tales
Ancient Greek was all about mythical beliefs, concepts of divinity and normality, and so much more that inspired modern art and philosophy in multiple ways.
Their rational skepticism and stories of gods and heroes are not alien to anyone.
However, the firmness of their faith in the mythologies was widely accepted at the time, with a few individuals as an exception. The mythical tales were the most significant aspect of all; it helped guide philosophers to think big and eventually became the foundation of many scientific discoveries.
The Twelve Olympian gods
The skepticism and superstitious beliefs of the Greeks can be identified by the fact that they related every possible natural phenomenon to the pleasure and displeasure of their gods.
Life, death, the afterlife, seasons, sickness, feelings, and even natural disasters were affiliated with how their gods felt.
